Signature Wit: Redefining Masculine Beauty the Indian Way

⚜️ Redefining Masculine Beauty: From Olympus to Hastinapur


For too long, the world’s idea of masculine beauty has borrowed its face from Greek gods — sculpted, pale, distant. But India 🇮🇳 never lacked its own icons of grace and strength. Our mythology is filled with kings and warriors whose beauty wasn’t cold perfection, but radiant vitality — a blend of tejas (inner glow), courage, and dignity.


King Dushyant was said to turn heads even in the forest — beauty wrapped in command. Arjuna moved like poetry in motion, Rama’s presence radiated calm power, and Karna’s golden aura could silence a court. Their beauty was never just physical; it was moral, spiritual, and deeply human.


It’s time to retire the marble men of Olympus and reclaim our own lineage of handsome — one that looks like light, earth, and resolve.


In place of Greek gods, let’s raise our own pantheon of beauty — men whose faces reflected dharma, courage, and poise. Let the golden standard of masculinity be reborn from Sanskrit verse and epic imagination.


👑 Indian Kings and Warriors Celebrated for Their Beauty


  1. Raja Dushyant (Mahabharata, Kalidasa’s Abhijnanasakuntalam) – Described as radiant, majestic, and irresistibly handsome. His charm is compared to Indra himself.
  2. Arjuna (Mahabharata) – Known not just for valor but saundarya; said to have delicate features, shining eyes, and a warrior’s elegance. Krishna himself calls him “the handsomest among men.”
  3. Lord Rama (Ramayana) – Valmiki paints him as tall, broad-shouldered, with lotus-like eyes and skin that glows like burnished gold. His beauty is both divine and human.
  4. Karna (Mahabharata) – Described as suvarnavarna (golden-hued) with a regal face; his charisma is so commanding that onlookers forget their own speech.
  5. Krishna (Bhagavata Purana) – Though divine, he was described in very human sensual terms: dark, lotus-eyed, with a smile that bewitched even ascetics.
  6. Raja Pururavas (Rig Veda & later texts) – Said to be of extraordinary beauty; his love story with the celestial nymph Urvashi parallels Dushyant and Shakuntala.

One CraZy Night

One Crazy Night One night at a friend’s house Four friends, one TV, inside a room With their stomachs filled, there was no space So lazy, even shoes were removed without untying the lace As soon as they entered, they locked the room from inside Soon did they realize only three were in, one left outside So, they had to open and let him in He entered giving furious looks, as if others had committed great sin Changed to night dress, all wanted to sleep Just then one of the friend’s cell phone gave a beep Curious were the other three, guessing who could be at this hour ? Alas, it was company’s & they had expected to be his lover ! There were only two beds, & two had to sleep on floor Two big hearted, though in size small accepted the offer Each promised the other, that they will not snore Nobody still knew what the night had in its store As the clock struck twelve, nobody had still slept One then decided to break the silence tha...

Birthday Bumps

Birthday bumps It is 12 pm at the night but you are still awake. You are frequently glancing at your cell phone screen waiting for a call. It’s your Birthday and you eagerly wait for a call from a special person probably your beloved. Sometimes you even won’t receive few calls because you really want that first call to be of your beloved (if he/she does exist). Any way you get your first wishes you are happy and you just can’t hide that smile on your face.   All is well, you feel you are the hero of the day and then as you get back to your room you already know that your friends have planned a surprise for you. So you walk in suppressing that big smile. The lights are off, as you enter inside, your friends shout “Happy Birthday” the lights come on and there is verve in the air. They show you the Big Chocolate cake with your nick name on it and you just can’t resist yourself from the temptation to cut and take a big bite of it. You have the knife and you slowly proceed to cut...

DELOCATED

DELOCATED Away from home in a new place Lost in the crowd that has no face Strange is life, strange are its ways Hidden behind clouds are lost my sun rays Purpose of my life is still unknown Within me echoes my own moan Walking on path, don’t know where it goes Surrounded by darkness & eerie echoes Lagging behind, losing my grip Awake I stay haunted by sleep Nothing goes right when you are wrong Feeling the wait is now too long My loved ones are far, far away Reminded by their memories night & day Missing those friends & missing those joys I listen to their voices with tears in eyes I find myself lost in this race Adding myself even more disgrace Failing to know what I want to do The time has come for me to make my move Struck in a place with fewer chances to escapes Surrounded by dangers like shadows taking all shapes But I know that no matter what, I have to move on The struggle had already begun when I was jus...
